 @ernstschwaig4667 no, that's what happens when you sanction your chief energy supplier, Russia. The cost competitiveness is lost overnight. That advantage has gone to China.

That's what happens when you sanction your energy provider Russia. They said they would replace that cheap supply. I laugh😂

@siddheshshivraj3534 clearly you don't know anything about running a business. All the nuances of running costs vs revenue and balancing books is lost on you.

@andriibakhtiozin4477 Russia is only following in the footsteps of the US, interfering in other countries civil wars. None of this is anything new, the Germans would know about this. I'm not here to split hairs about the causes because I can see as a Ukrainian you're very emotional about it and will not be able to separate your feelings from it. But the US was not sanctioned for interfering in the Yugoslavian civil war or the Syrian one. From the perspective of a German, energy is energy, there's no such thing as good oil and bad oil. The right thing to do would've been to do what Olaf did in the first few weeks of the war. Anyways he's paying for his betrayal at the polls. With that being said, Germany is paying the price for the sanctions. That's all there is to it. Not everyone wants to end up like your Chernobyl. Till today you haven't fixed that disaster.

 @AWriterWandering they wanted to live without the fear of a meltdown contaminating their ancestral land for decades. Valid fears too.

@ernstschwaig4667 why have both the US and China failed to depend on renewables to drive their industries? 🤦🏼‍♂️

@AWriterWandering they didn't need to burn coal when they were buying Russian gas. They hobbled themselves by complying with the EU sanctions, replacing Russian gas with expensive American gas and coal as you said. It's just a combination of bad decisions, not just shutting down nuclear in isolation.
